Trouble Opening 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch
We have a Reese Elite RE18 trailer hitch. About half the time when pulling into a campground, the release arm will not let go. We have to rock the truck in drive and reverse three or four times before...

I have been told that if you have a Ford this is a common problem. After backing up, if you hold the break peddle down with your foot and then apply the parking break leaving your foot on the break peddle (so the truck won't roll) you can then release the break peddle and this should fix the problem. I have used this method many time and have no problem opening the hitch.
